Arrival (2016) 94% 5/5 EDIT “Like all the best sci-fi, Arrival isn't really about aliens. It's about people. It's about ideas. But instead of hammering you over the head with those ideas in a bid to show how clever-clever it is, the film lets the story and characters do the talking.” – Digital Spy Sep 29, 2016 Full Review Lights Out (2010) 83% 4/5 EDIT “You get an insight into teenage life, but the ideas and emotions are subtle enough to enhance and not overshadow the story.” – Digital Spy Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Björk: Biophilia Live (2014) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Here and there we get the microscopic and cosmic in fractal harmony and it's all sorts of lovely. It doesn't happen enough.” – Digital Spy Oct 17, 2014 Full Review 20,000 Days on Earth (2014) 97% 4/5 EDIT “Pieced together in a fittingly arch, self-conscious style that fits Cave like a dark black glove.” – Digital Spy Sep 15, 2014 Full Review Pulp: A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets (2014) 85% 4/5 EDIT “By not foolishly trying to tell The Whole Story, Habicht has done so much more.” – Digital Spy Jun 2, 2014 Full Review Morrissey 25: Live (2013) 56% 3/5 EDIT “Morrissey 25: Live lacks the spark or the edge that would make this a real cinema experience...” – Digital Spy Aug 19, 2013 Full Review The Stone Roses: Made of Stone (2013) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Soundtracked by an impossible reunion, Made of Stone sticks two fingers up at the cynics and reminds us that your first love is the deepest and that real friendship never dies.” – Digital Spy May 29, 2013 Full Review Marley (2012) 95% 5/5 EDIT “Up there with No Direction Home and The Filth and the Fury, Marley is one of the greatest ever historical music documentaries.” – Digital Spy Mar 16, 2012 Full Review Chronicle (2012) 85% 4/5 EDIT “The naturalistic performances from the three leads make the fantastic seem possible for a middle portion which could otherwise have spun out of control, and they're definitely helped by the in-your-face reality of the format.” – Digital Spy Feb 1, 2012 Full Review You Instead (2011) 39% 4/5 EDIT “You Instead is a really charming film which captures all the magic and mud of the perfect festival experience.” – Digital Spy Sep 14, 2011 Full Review Final Destination 5 (2011) 64% 3/5 EDIT “It's all good fun.” – Digital Spy Aug 24, 2011 Full Review Machete (2010) 70% 4/5 EDIT “At the end there's the humorous promise of sequels, but if Machete is a neat, bloody full-stop on the mainstream Mexploitation genre Rodriguez has done so much to resurrect, it's a fine one.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review My Joy (2010) 90% 2/5 EDIT “If the desire is to unsettle and disorientate, the movie succeeds, but it does so at the expense of pretty much all else.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review The Housemaid (2010) 69% 2/5 EDIT “With the honourable exception of a film-saving Byung-sik, the characters are too unpleasant and two-dimensional to keep it together.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Womb (2010) 35% 2/5 EDIT “What lets Womb down is its slow-to-the-point-of-complete-tedium pacing (especially in the first half), and finicky way it's stuck together.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Socialism (2010) 58% 2/5 EDIT “Many people leave. We stay end. Not sure why.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review The Princess of Montpensier (2010) 85% 4/5 EDIT “The swashbuckling Guise, kindly Count, raging Philippe and swaggering Duke make the two-hours-plus runtime fly by.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review The Tree (2010) 72% 3/5 EDIT “Steady but slightly lacking.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Biutiful (2010) 66% 4/5 EDIT “Bardem and Irritu draw you in to a story that says so much about not only its individual characters but also of life, exile, love, family and death.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010) 46% 3/5 EDIT “The cast is the main draw here, but it's also the movie's biggest problem. Hopkins and Jones are excellent, and a greater focus on that couple might well have resulted in a much better film.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review 6 Souls (2010) 4% 2/5 EDIT “All too often [the film] borrows from the ideas and conventions of the pysch-horror without giving either them, or the audience, enough respect for it to work.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Ironclad (2011) 43% 3/5 EDIT “What saves the flick is Paul Giamatti's John, played as a petulant, damaged man born in a world where he wields the power of a god and inevitably rages as that power is snatched away.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Super (2010) 50% EDIT “Where it completely fails is when the in-your-face amorality is contextualised with an icky epilogue which tries to justify what came before as some kind of "spiritual journey". It doesn't convince.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Outrage (2010) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Outrage is equal measures gangland power struggle and broad comedic farce, all shook up with a fizzy hit of ultraviolent set pieces.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review Howl (2010) 64% 4/5 EDIT “To its immense credit, Howl the movie makes a huge success of this potentially problematic mish-mash.” – Digital Spy Jul 14, 2011 Full Review
